WWYD - Job Reimbursement

[TwoMisfits]

I'd ignore it. I'm betting your increased day rate is worth more than your parking cost, so if you look into it, you'll probably lose money.

I'd just plan that future asks may not actually reimburse parking, and plan my parking costs appropriately.

Edit to Add: And I see I was right. Yeah, now I'm 100% committed to ignore it. Why risk losing money? You got more - be happy with that.

Right but if the parking is included in his day rate he’s going to have to pay taxes on that amount. It should be separated.

Even if I pay taxes on the parking reimbursement (probably did in April), the higher amount for the day rate makes it WELL worth it.

When I was hired, I was told a rate of 'x'. I actually got paid 'y', which is about 50% more than x. And when you figure that rate also applied to OT hours, yea, I don't want to rock the boat.

So what? Don't risk losing more money to save a couple bucks.

Given all the details at this point, I’d go with the flow and consider myself paid in full since it sounds like you were you were compensated well beyond what you thought was negotiated, with or without the parking reimbursed.
